Scientists led by UCLA found that permanently shaded parts of pits on the Moon stay near a constant 17°C while the exposed surface swings between 127°C and −173°C — meaning humanity’s first permanent lunar address may be underground.
The Moon’s surface imposes a slow, punishing thermal cycle. A location in sunlight can reach about 127 degrees…

Scientists recreated the conditions on Saturn’s moon Titan and watched molecules that shouldn’t mix form stable crystals together — at around minus 179°C, polar hydrogen cyanide accepts nonpolar methane and ethane into its crystal structure, breaking one of chemistry’s most familiar rules of thumb.
“Like dissolves like” is one of chemistry’s most useful shortcuts. Polar materials tend to associate with polar materials,…

On 1 March 1982, a Soviet probe called Venera 13 touched down on Venus and was expected to last just 32 minutes in 465°C heat — it survived for 127 minutes, drilled and analysed a soil sample, and sent back the first colour photographs ever taken from the surface of Venus.
At 03:57:21 Universal Time on 1 March 1982, Venera 13 settled onto Venus after an atmospheric descent lasting…
